Indian Contracts.

In speaking with an old army officer
on the sub i.ect Of the frequent Indian
outbreaks within the past two years, he
advanced singular theory, which, to
his mind, at least, accounted satisfactori-
ly for much that heretofore has seemed
inexplicable. Said the army officer to a
representative of the Washington
Hdtches:
In old times, when it was necessary to
prove the assent TO a written contract of
persons who could neither read nor write,
this was done by affixing their seals.
When the Indian makes a contract he
does so by word of mouth, sealing the
contract with that solemnity which, to
redskin, means all things-he shakes
hands upon ii. This is q custom with
the Indian which is reserved exclusively
20 atify his contract, and never, as with
us, In saluta:ion. When an occasion Of
importance demands that the chiefs
shall come to Washington, before start
ing they represent 10 their tribes the
business In hand. and state that they will
90 and see the Great Father, with whom
they will enter into treaty. Arrived in
Washington, an interpreter presents their
ease TO the President, who, In good will
20 show that he Is not above giving n
Kind reception 20 the humb'est man in
The country, advances and profEcrs his
hand. The chiefs are delighted, and re.
turn TO their tribes setting forth that the
Crest Father hasacceded TO their wishes,
because. after hearing the case, he shook
hands with ;hem. If.aiter the execution
Of contract in the presence Of witnesses
subsequently sworn 70 and recorded, we
should then break IL 40 that suit In
court was the only remedy 20 the party
injmed thereby, the situation would not
b. more serious here, while Tue President
Stakes hands with an Indian who after.
ward docs not get or enjoy what he un-
darstood would be given by that act Of
hlndshakiBg. Al Of which gocs TO
prove, in conclusion, that the President
should never shake hands with an In

THE LAND BOOM.
Prices Way Up Among the stars-The Dane
gers 10 be Afoided.

The wonderful land boom of the past yeas
has excited very general attention.
II has not been confined to any one locality,
for, as Chauncey III. Depew said, after visit
TO the west, ''At nearly every one or the made
centres we visited, we found extravagant and
untenable views Of prospective real estate yal-
ues.n
or course the vast army of men engaged, in
one way or another in these enterprises, were
10th to believe their views either extravagant
oruntenable. Both they and Depsw are right
TO certain extent.
Land values have rapidly and perma.
nently increased in this country in the last
fifty years. This is especially noticeable In
the" jumping west, along thelines ofneW
railroads.
Thousands of new cities have sprung up,
with growth perfectly astonishing, and
great fortunes have been made in real es-
tate.
Land values must continue to increase
generally, because the available area OF land
IN the country is now so small as to render
inevitable its entire absorption IN few
years.
One hundred years from now, at the pres
eni rate OF increase, our population will be
400 10 the square mile--twice as many as
in the largest European nations.
To be a safe speculator, ii is necessary tC
study cause and effect, as the proprietors ot
Warmers safe cure did in preparing their
remedy. Its success is great because it
reaches the cause of disease. Every drop
oi blood coursing through the system passes
through the kidneys. II they are in sound
working order, the blood is purified; il de.
ranged, poison, that should be eliminated,
is carried through the blood channels to
every part of the system. The poison at.
lacks the weak points, and so come the
long list OF resulting ailments. Remedy the
cause, put the purifying organs in health,
and the whole system becomes healthy. :
There must be a solid basis for land
boom, however, or it will inevitably result
IN crash, entailing great losses and subse.
quent injurious depression.
Two thousand dollars per front foot foi
land in some cities might be a judicious in.
vestment, in others, very indiscreet. 1t il
wise to make investments of character
indicating permanent, if slower, growth
and increase of value.

Care Of Cannries.

1t is easy to keep the canary in good
health, easier, in fact, than to cure him
after he becomes sick. There would be
but few sick birds if they were properly
taken carspf Many are neglected, and
many ardtreatcd with mistaken kind
ness. Their food should be good, and
they should have all they want to cat.
The best seels for them are German
rape or millet, canary seed, and hemp,
the latter in limited quantity. We would
not give more than dozen hemp seeds
daily. Some advise not to use it at all,
but we think it beneficial to bird when
used in small quantities.
Cleanliness is all important. Be sure
OF this. The cage should be cleaned
daily, and fresh seed given each time.
with clean sand or gravel. Fresh water
should be given for drinking in cups
which are arranged in such manner
that the bird cannot foul them. That for
bathing should be in shallow dish like
a saucer, aud as soon as the bird has
bathel the dish should BE- removed. A
great many persons place such vessel
OF water in the cage and oblige the bird
TO use it to bathe in and drink from.
This should never be done. The bird
wants just as pure, clean water to drink
as any person does, and he will not keep
in health if obliged to drink impure
water. \ piece of cuttle-fsh bone should
be kept in his cage. and a raw apple,
cabbage leaf, and piantain in its season
should be provided. Aim to give one or.
the other Of these things every day the
year round. Occasionally, give a piece
of bread soaked in milk, but never cake
or candy. Once a week, give boiled egg
mixel with cracker. Never hang any
birds in a draft, or the wind, and never
set them out Of their cages. In moult-
ihg time, give dusting of cayenne pep
per to their egg and cracker, or bread
aud milk. k.-Imericaa Agrieukurist.

LIEUT.. KISLISGBURY's DEATH.
His Brother Bound to Find Ont
Why He Starved to Death on the
Greely Expedition. +

John P. Kislingbtry, OF Rochester.
who is brother Of Lieutenant Freder-
lex Kislingbury, the second in CON-
mand of the Greely expedition, was in
the city the other day, says the n. Y.
Tribune. The object Of his visit was 10
communicate personally with some Of
the Arctic survivors regarding o reopen
ing Of the Government inquiry concern.
ing the expedition. A point which he
claims has never received attention is
this: Lieutenant Kislingbury died from
starvation on june ], yet on June 6
Lieutenant (now GeneraD Greely or
dered man shot, and he was shot (viz:
Q. b. Henry, otherwise known as Book
for stealing provisions. Mr.. Kisling-
bury would like to know how it came
about, If there were provisions to steal
on June !, that his brother could die
from starvation on June 6. Mr.. Kis-
hngbury reiterates the statement that
there was no flesh left upon his brothers
body when it was received by him from
the authorities at the Navy Yard, except
npon the head, hands and feet, and
states also that an examination OF the
dead mans stomach by expert chemists
proved that no food had entered it for
six weeks before death.
One Of the survivors whom Mr.. Kis-
lngbuIy came here TO see is Henry Bic
derrick, the hospital steward Of the
Greedy expedition, wio is now an in
spector OF customs at this port. Mr..
Biederbick was averse TO saying much
regarding the death Of Lieutenant Kis-
lingbury or as TO the alleged post-mortem
cannibalism, but be freely expressed his
opinion about the want Of appreciation
shown the men who risked their lives
and died horrible deaths by the House
Of Representatives, which killed the
Senate bill giving them back pay
amounting to S703. 75 each, which was
due the enlisted survivors or their legal
Representatives. As o consequence Of
this Mr.. Biederbick says that the widow
OF ID. z. Balston, a sergeant Of the
United States Signal Corps and mem.
Der Of the expedition, is now in poor.
house in Massachusetts,, and that the
widow Of w. II. Gross, an engineer,
who also died martyr TO the cause in
the Arctic regions, is in destitute condi.
ton in Washington.
Mr.. Kislingbury says that he will
never rest satisfied until the facts which
he declares have been withheld from the
public in relation 10 the expedition and
which will substantiate charges Of in.
competency and bad conduct on the parl
Of General Greedy are laid bare.

Fashion Notes.

The tournurc is narrower, but. not
otherwise smaller.
New basques are noticeable for their
elaborate front trimmings.
Nelvets are always most effective made
up with little or no draping.
Long velvet redingotes, with satin
skirts, are in vogue this fall.
Dark tan is shade that is predicted
likely to be extremely fashionable.
Braid is a stylish decoration for many
costumes, and it is most generally dis
posed in parallel lines or scrolls.
Braiding IN fancy patterns IS much
liked on the back and sleeve pieces, and
also the tabs Of handsome wraps.
BFaids, passementeries, ribbons. cords
and fiat trimmings generally may bc
added to costumes of wool or silk.
Gainsborough hats gre to be fashionable
in velvet and felt, en- suite, with long
wrsps or costumes, and long plumes will
prevail.
Upon costumes iinsel. wool and silk
braids are correctly employed, and velvet
ribbon put on in stripes is quite as
modish.
Checks that are almost invisible and
fancy weaviBgs that are not too pro.
nouneed will be combined with velvet in
Costumes.
White cloth embroidered with gold.
silver, bronze or copper braid will often
beused for the vest, collar and cuffs Of
dressy costumes.
Among the superb toilets to be seen
the coming winter none will attract
more attention than those with plain
black velvet bodices made up with court
trains over contrasting pciticnats Of
white moirc broCade and other handsome
evening fabrics.
In costumes for little girls those for
best wear often have the vest Of lace.

Of the skirt are frequently trimmed with

A Playful Judge,

Judge Mooney OF Algiers, La, abors
under the disadvantage OF living in an un-
appreciatlye community. The Judges iel-
low-citizens recently signed long docu-
ment asking for his removal. They allege
that he is guilty Of drunken and hoodlum-
istic' conduct; that he Is frequently too
drunk to hold court, and that he sometimes
sleeps of a debauch at the police station,
II appears that the Judge discharges lire
arms within the city limits, breaks into
houses at . o'clock in the morning, smashes
windows, and kicks up Jack generally. He
has been known to take milkmau's wagon
from its owner, and drive through the
streets, scattering the milk aud acting like
a maniac. So outrageous has been his clu-
duct that his own mother one day chastisei
llm with his cane.
The Judge frolicsome autics may be ac-
counted for In satisfactory way. A very
email quantity Of domestic wine with super
abundance of animal spirits Is doubtless the
true explanation. one does not feel dis
posed to deal harshly with such a case. In
some communities II would be a decided re
lief to see Judge occasionally throw aside
his eTmine and mingle with the boys. Judge
